Rafael Nadal was the three-time defending champion in the men's singles, and won the title to become the first man to win the same Grand Slam title eight times. Maria Sharapova was the defending champion in women's singles, but lost in the final to Serena Williams.

This championship was the third time in grand slam history that two multiple slam sets were accomplished in two different disciplines, and that was Serena Williams in Women's singles, and her fellow countrymen Bob and Mike Bryan in Men's doubles. At the 1969 US Open, Rod Laver won his multiple slam set in Men's singles, and his fellow countryman Ken Rosewall did in Men's doubles. At the 2012 French Open, Mahesh Bhupathi won a multiple slam set in Mixed doubles, and Esther Vergeer won her multiple slam set in Women's Wheelchair Doubles.

In the women's singles final, it marked the first French Open since 1995 that the top two seeded players had played each other in the final, and the first time at any grand slam event since the 2004 Australian Open that the top two seeded players had played each other in a grand slam final.

The 2013 French Open was the 112th edition of the French Open and was held at Stade Roland Garros in Paris.^[2]

The tournament was an event run by the International Tennis Federation (ITF) and was part of the 2013 ATP World Tour and the 2013 WTA Tour calendars under the Grand Slam category. The tournament consisted of both men's and women's singles and doubles draws as well as a mixed doubles event.^[3]

There were singles and doubles events for both boys and girls (players under 18), which were part of the Grade A category of tournaments, and singles and doubles events for men's and women's wheelchair tennis players as part of the NEC tour under the Grand Slam category. The tournament was played on clay courts and took place over a series of twenty courts, including the three main showcourts, Court Philippe Chatrier, Court Suzanne Lenglen and Court 1.^{[citation needed]}

¹Robredo has 100 points coming off after the French Open because of a challenger tournament (Città di Caltanissetta) he won when not attending the 2012 French Open. Therefore, 100 points must be subtracted from his old points.
